Transfers

Anyone have ideas on transfers from the cruise ship terminal to downtown Tokyo hotels and then hotels to NRT?

Trains. or from tokyo hotels to hotels at NRT  the airport limousine bus which also operates a bus transfer from NRT to YCAT.

www.hyperdia for all train information.  

The port provided a free shuttle bus from Osanbashi pier to Sakuragicho station from there you  can take a train to tokyo,  however if I was planning extra days in TOkyo I would be finding a hotel in Yokohama area and just taking the 31 minutes 470 yen train into Tokyo. Check out the hyperdia link.

Most NRT hotels have free shuttles.    Also be aware of the wonderful luggage forwarding service in Japan.   From hotel to hotel or convenience store to hotel.  Depends on distance but usually next day delivery.   We have sent our luggage from Yokohama cruise terminal to hotels in various parts of Japan, also to our NRT hotel where we stayed the night prior to our flight.  Cost varies but somewhere around the 1800 - 2500 yen depending on size door to door.  Just take small hand luggage for the extra days between if only a few days.   Hotels provide so much, sleepwear, toiletries, shaver, hair comb, etc etc just about everything except deodorant and make up for those that cant be seen without it.
